Charles John Clarke Coles (26 December 1878 – 20 August 1942) was an Australian rules footballer who played with the Geelong Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL). He was a skilled follower with a nice kick. However, his career was ruined through a broken leg in 1904. He died in 1942 after being struck on the chin while acting as a doorkeeper at the Palais Royal Dance Hall in Geelong.[3]
